The National Recreation and Park Association has reviewed the resources of the Professional Background Screening Association, formerly the National Association of Professional Background Screeners, and sought the counsel of recognized background screening experts to develop a set of Recommended Guidelines for Volunteer Background Screening in park and recreation settings. The goal of these recommendations is to make communities safe by advancing optimum volunteer management practices. In addition, certain states have specific guidelines regarding the reporting of criminal record information and your policies may need to be amended in these states. A qualified background screening provider should be able to guide you on these laws.
